Title: ITG intake problem
Post by: M7AXB on September 03, 2013, 10:11:37 am

Hi all,

Quickly tried to fit my ITG intake last night and ran into a couple of issues.

How do you get the heat sheild to fit? The instructions said about rubber grommets but, i don't seem to have them?

It also seems very tight at the 90 degree bend at the battery, is this normal?

Was missing a jubilee clip too so had to put the old intake back on until the new one arrives  :sad1:

Cheers

From what I've read you use the rubber grommets from under your engine cover.

Yeah just use your rubber ones from the oem engine cover mate.

If you have to undo the black plastic engine cover mounts, they have a nut on the underside so they will not undo without removing this first

I chewed he'll out of mine till I eventually realised the nuts underneath as the front 2 just screw in  :fighting:
